Got the 54 blasted and primed with weld through primer. It is in worse shape than I had hoped. I don't have it home yet, so no pics.

However, I got the 1947-54 Chevy Truck Assembly Manual and started looking at parts, and trying to find the correct name for some of them.

I am going to have to replace the body outer lower rear panel, the body outer upper rear panel and apparently the roof skin panel, IF I can find one.

Does anyone have a lead on a 54 roof skin panel?

Looking at the manual, it appears that the panels go on in order of the lower, upper and roof. Is that correct?

I'm going to have to retire to get these two done! Work is taking way too much time away from the shop!
